Just wanted to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving. Economically, things are a little tough right now for a lot of folks; however, the sun still comes up each morning, the river keeps flowing and overall, we have lots to be thankful for and it isn't how much money you have, what kind of car you drive or how big a house you live in.

On the previous thread about fishing in South America, I was reminded of taking my son to Chile for a fishing trip. One day we went site seeing and on a big plaza in front of a cathedral, there was a man begging. The plaza was huge, and the weather was hot. The man was dirty, had no legs and was laying face down in the middle of the hot asphalt begging for money. We gave the man money and I commented to my son that the next time he thinks things are tough and he is having a bad day to remember this man. He agreed.

Remember the simple things in life and be thankful.

Happy thanksgiving.
